Once in a Sergio Leone dream

Post by dev » Fri Jan 18, 2013 12:48 pm

Was in this crazy dream sometime. The man with no name was standing, squinting into the sun, the cheroot stuck in his jaw.
I was one of the grave stones, the burly Mexican was sweating buckets and a reed thin evil man was smiling back at both of them.
As I awoke to the sound of the rolling thunder of their colts, I jerked back into myself.

But damn it all if next to my bedside table lay something that I couldn't explain. The smell of black powder lingered like a perfume, as I rubbed my eyes, cleaned my glasses and looked again. Happy new year to me :D .

Hello,

Cannot fire as it is replica made by Denix of Spain. Can spin the chamber by cocking the hammer and one can dry fire it. Too much of which isn't recommended.
Here is more about the pistol.

This just fills a small part of the desire to own a real one but so far this paper weight :P is nice.

"Old West Replica M1849 Grey Finish Pocket Revolver
This .31 caliber small frame dragoon was used during the Gold Rush, Civil War, and Old West Eras. The hideaway replica gun measures 7.75" in length with a 5 shot rotating cylinder, 3" metal octagon barrel and comes with wood grips." The text is from the website,"http://www.armory.net".

Regards,

Dev

Hi Dev,

I guessed it. That's why I asked whether it can be fired. When I the looked closely at the picture it seemed the screw which retains the cylinder axis rod is permanently welded to the frame, the three side plate screws are of the same size and absolutely pristine which looked odd given the guns age. Also, the barrel and fore part of the frame appeared to be some kind of cast metal.

But I must say its a great collection. Congrats and please bear with my envy for a few days...

:cheers:
